Pitseolak: a Canadian Tragedy

Some creasing and a couple of small tears to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, some bumping to spine ends and corners of grey boards, previous owner's gift message (with name blacked out) on half-title, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book. Pitseolak, a young Inuit man from Baffin Island, was educated and spent several years much further south in Canada, returning to his family not quite able to fit into Inuit life, with eventually tragic results. The author met him while working as a teacher on Baffin Island in the late 1960s. 176pp. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
